Today was doomed to suck.  I knew that.  I woke up anyway.  Bad move.

 

First of all, taking the bus this morning was not so easy. Walking in the rain wasn't too bad, except for the fact that I was carrying my paper and books, that I was desperately trying not to get wet.

 

Secondly, I give up working with other people. There's absolutely no point. At 10:18 this morning, I was waiting for someone to send me her section of a case study. I have to print this out so I can hand it in this afternoon so I can work tomorrow. She knows this. I've emailed her two times. It makes me so mad. Luckily, I anticipated this at 8:00, and did one of the sections she was responsible for doing. I was waiting on the other part, because it's not really important (the introduction) and i figured her sub-par work would suffice if she actually did send it. I suppose thats not going to happen though. Absolutely amazing.

 

This compliments my experience last week with the individual who I was assigned to work with for another assessment. It took me a week of calling and emailing to get him to respond and agree on a time to meet. We agreed on 12:00 on Wednesday. 12:15 rolls around and and he hasn't shown up. I call him, and he tells me that he and his girlfriend took a spontaneous trip to the Central Coast, and he didn't get a chance to call me. Fine, I can accept that. So we reschedule for today at 12:00. Once again, 12:15 rolls around, and he's nowhere to be seen. I call him, and this time, he doesn't even answer his phone. He gets around to calling me at 12:40 to tell me he just got out of bed, he's going to take a shower, and he'll be at the library at 1:00. He finally showed up at 1:30, but that was too late since my Galileo class starts at that time. What is so hard about doing what you say you're going to do? If he wanted to meet at 2:00, he could've told me that. It's the fact that he told me 12:00 and didn't show up that makes me furious. At that point, he's wasting my time, because I've rescheduled my day around meeting at 12:00, not whenever he feels up to it.

To top it all off, on the way back to the bus stop after class I stopped in Kelly Deli to get a dang quesadilla, and I picked up cheese instead of chicken.  *Smacks forehead on desk in defeat.*

I ate a fortune cookie today.  I didn't actually eat the Asian cuisine to accompany it, because our cafeteria makes some nasty looking Asian food.  But just the same, I was hoping that some ancient Chinese secret would help me decipher the way to get through today.  I broke the cookie with much anticipation and longing... I uncurled the piece of paper, and read...

"Wish you a long life."

Not only does that not apply, that's not even a fortune.  Heck, it's not even a proper sentence! 

So all in all, I felt pretty defeated today.

But the universe works in strange ways.  When I was signed on to Galileo, a user was signed in whose last name was "Loser."  That just sucks.  Especially considering how common it is to call someone by their last name.  People can yell, "Hey, Loser!" and this person technically has no valid complaint.  The universe must just hate certain people.  However, I think it was meant to give me a message: "Tin, you're not a Loser."  At least not in the most literal sense, but I'll take it for what it's worth.
